release_managers_guide: add BLEAD-POINT/-FINAL

the Release Manager's Guide talks about three different release types,
RC, BLEAD and MAINT. This is a bit ambiguous for a major release
(e.g. 5.14.0): is it the first MAINT or the last BLEAD?

So, split BLEAD into two:

BLEAD-FINAL - a final release on a blead branch (e.g. 5.14.0)
BLEAD-POINT - a point release on a blead branch (e.g. 5.15.0, 5.15.1)

Then update the whole document to use these tags consistently.

Store the compiled format in mg_ptr instead of after SvCUR() - fixes RT #89218

Formats are compiled down to a sequence of U32 opcodes in doparseform().
Previously the block of opcodes was stored in the buffer of SvPVX() after
the raw string by extending the buffer, and calculating the first U32 aligned
address after SvCUR(). A flag bit on the scalar was set to signal this hackery,
tested with SvCOMPILED()

The flag bit used happened to be the same as one of the two used by to signal
Boyer-Moore compiled scalars. The assumption was that no scalar can be used for
both. Unfortunately, this isn't quite true.

Given that the scalar is alway upgraded to PVMG to add PERL_MAGIC_fm magic,
to clear the cached compiled version, there's no extra memory cost in using
mg_ptr in the MAGIC struct to point directly to the block of U32 opcodes. The

returning a pointer, and the use of a flag bit abolished.

were part of the heading, and the spaces between them are

13 years agoAssertion fails in multi-char regex match
Karl Williamson [Fri, 13 May 2011 14:35:23 +0000 (08:35 -0600)]
Assertion fails in multi-char regex match

In '"s\N{U+DF}" =~ /\x{00DF}/i, the LHS folds to 'sss', the RHS to 'ss'.
The bug occurs when the RHS tries to match the first two es's, but that
splits the LHS \xDF character, which Perl doesn't know how to handle,
and the assertion got triggered.  (This is similar to [perl #72998].)

The solution adopted here is to disallow a partial character match,
as #72998 did as well.

release_managers_guide: feedback from 5.15.0 bump

The version bump from 5.14.0 to 5.15.0 didn't go at all smoothly.
Update release_managers_guide based on that experience.

Basically there were a couple of catch-22 situations with auto-generated
files; namely uconfig.h and the pod/perl5150delta.pod link.

Also, I've split the 'bump bleed to 5.15' and 'make maint-5.14 branch'
instructions into two separate sections.
